Super Mystery #4 Baby-Sitters' Christmas Chiller

[promisemewings]

Oh boy, this is the first time I've snarked on one of the Super Specials. Better yet, a Super MYSTERY! Oh boy oh boy! *rubs hands together with glee*

Jessi's handwriting always irritated the hell out of me. The swoopiness made me read each. Individual. Word. As. If. It. Had. Punctuation. After. It. in my mind. I just realised another reason why Ann hates Mal is that she never got to "narrate" the prologues to any of the super specials or super mysteries. Which is a shame because Mallory's writing is much easier on the eyes than Jessi's!

Ahaha, leave it to K.Ron to see a babysitting opportunity after a house was robbed. You'd think that in an affluent neighbourhood like Kristy's, the houses would have better security systems than that. I remember this book from eons ago and the snarky recaps are much better than the actual books.

I actually had a coworker at a previous job who would put a punctuation mark in between each word she had written. Whatever, it just made it very hard to read her stuff.

+1 for the Home Alone picture. I used to love that movie.

I was going to snark on this book around the holidays, but one look at the pages and pages of Jessi's handwriting at the start turned me off. Why Jessi, anyway? She had the smallest role in the entire book - even in her subplot, Mal did more than Jessi.

Anyway. This book is so ridiculous, and I look forward to the next installment - it's sure to be better than the actual story! :)

LOL I totally thought Mary Anne looked like a boy on the cover too.

This is, by far, the most outrageous BSC Super Special I've read, and that's saying something. Like, more out-there than the time they won the lottery. I won't offer up any spoilers, but it just keeps getting more and more over-the-top as it goes along.

In SS5, one of their parents buys them all lottery tickets (I think Claudia's parents?) and they have a big sleepover at Dawn's house and Dawn's ticket has 5 of the 6 winning numbers so they win $3000 or something like that, so they split it 7 ways and go to California for two weeks, OH MY GOODNESSSSSSSSSbullshit.

Haha, Bull-Shit Cult meeting, love it. I like the pictures too; excellent snark. :) I hated Jessi's handwriting, hated Mary Anne's and Kristy's too, I only liked the ones that were actually easy to read. I read this book but it's been so long I can't remember what happens, lol.

Mary Anne's always looked like a grade school teacher's handwriting to me.
